"I would like to take this opportunity to share with you what a marvelous experience I had with Richelle Flecke when she painted the most beautiful watercolor portrait of our house! Richelle is an extremely talented artist; in several instances she was able to capture what I wanted without even having a photograph! She simply went off my description and managed to capture it perfectly! It was magical!! Richelle is an absolute delight to work with and very helpful; she walked me through each step and always checked first with me if she had any questions. I recommend Richelle Flecke without any reservations whatsoever as an extremely talented artist you can trust and who has your best interests at heart! But the best recommendation I can give is that I plan to have Richelle paint another house portrait in the future for us!"

"I wanted to thank Richelle so very much for her part in my extremely special birthday present. The portrait she created of our home is absolutely beautiful. Ron and I both love it and my girls - Rachel and Hannah - can't believe how beautiful and detailed the creation is. I have my portrait hanging in my home office where I can enjoy it every day. Richelle showed not just our "house" but brought in the warmth that makes it our "home".
She is an amazingly talented artist and her love for what she does shows in her finished product."

"Last summer our family spent a week at our cousin's lovely home in Greece. We took pictures of the home at the time with the intention of having a portrait done. We presented the portrait to them at Christmas, and they were thrilled. They proudly showed off their home to everyone gathered. Richelle was very professional, and the whole process was simple."

You are extremely talented, a pleasure to work with, and a true professional. We will hang this portrait proudly in our home for all to admire and will treasure it for a lifetime."

"My husband, brother, and I surprised my parents with a portrait of their home on Christmas. They both started tearing up and my mom started crying the minute they opened it. It was perfect! Richelle was a pleasure to work with and captured our home perfectly! "

"Richelle Flecke is a true artist. As a designer, I admire Richelle's technical abilities to accurately render the details of my house, as well as capture the soul and essence of my home. This tiny little ranch house was the one my husband and I moved into when we married, and the one to which we brought both of our daughters home. If you were to drive by it, you might notice a weedy lawn, a crooked mail box, dirty windows, or a cracked driveway. But Richelle painted our house the way we see it in our hearts: a warm, beautiful, inviting home where flowers bloom, children grow, and love and laughter reside."

"I have a custom portrait of my house (illustrated by Richelle) in a very prominent place in my living room and I have enjoyed looking at it and remembering the dreams I had and the enjoyment and pride that the kids and I had in living in that house. When I look at it I remember how I fell in love with the house on an “open house” Sunday on a spring breezy day and knew right away that I wanted to buy it. It looked the same as Richelle captured it!"

"Having worked with several "home portrait" artists over the years for client gifts, I wouldn't choose anyone else now that I've experienced Richelle's work. The impressions & details she captures in her portraits as well as the quality of her work creates an heirloom treasure to be passed down for generations!"

"Our experience with you was both pleasant and rewarding, and the two portraits you made of our home hang proudly in our Great Room. I also have a display of the portraits of the various bank locations of Equality Savings Bank. They are cherished memories of my banking career. I have and will continue to recommend your services, whether for a home portrait or other building portrait."

"We commissioned Richelle Flecke to paint our Lafayette Square home. She was able to capture in colorful detail the Victorian charm of the house and yard. We were very pleased with the final product. It hangs proudly in our front parlor."

"We were extremely pleased (and actually quite amazed) with the quality and level of detail you were able to incorporate in your work. It was both accurate in its portrayal of our house and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We were also pleased with the timely and professional manner that you carried out your assignment. You truly created for us a family treasure that our family will cherish for many years to come."

"I just wanted to let you know how much my parents loved the portrait of "For the Girls." They could not believe how beautiful it was and what a special gift it was. I think my dad showed it to every single person that came over to our house during the wedding week. It was really special for them!

I just wanted to pass that along, as I was thinking about how much my parents absolutely loved it and were so amazed by how beautiful it was! I can't wait to frame my color copy and hang it in my new apartment."

"I wanted to surprise my husband with a house portrait for his birthday. Richelle was great to work with and we BOTH love the painting. It's our second one from Richelle - we had received a watercolor of the church where we were married from our kids."

Ginny Russell Rowe

"I contacted Richelle when I came up with the idea to surprise my husband with a portrait of our first home. From beginning to end, Richelle was a complete professional. She was very organized and extremely pleasant to deal with over the phone. The finished portrait is amazing and my husband & I absolutely love it! Richelle really captured every small detail of our former home. The painting now has a special place in the foyer of our new home."

"Last year we wanted a present for someone that was impossible to buy for. There are a few things in her life that is her pride & joy. In reviewing the paper I saw an ad re: paintings by Richelle Flecke. I knew this was perfect gift for her. We were right it turned out absolutely gorgeous and she loved it. We could not of been any happier w/ all of the details in the painting it was amazing."

"We presented the painting of 530 Lilac to Mom at her 95th birthday celebration in early July in Virginia. She loved it as did the entire family. All thought you did a great job of capturing the home. Since she has now gone back home to Webster a number of the neighbors have loved it as well. Maybe some more business for you. Anyway, thanks again for your outstanding work on this project. You certainly made her very happy."

"My husband and I were completely impressed with the attention to detail that Richelle put into our house portrait. We absolutely love it and will chreish it for many years to come. We would definitely recommend Richelle to our family and friends."

Jamie Schneider

"We would like to thank Richelle for the wonderful portrait she created as a Christmas gift for Diane's employer. Upon receiving the painting of their home they were clearly overwhelmed with joy and amazement (it even brought tears). They were extremely impressed with Richelle's ability to "capture the true look of their house "— to the point that she even "aged" the look of newly planted landscaping. Her personal care, attention to detail and artistic ability made this the perfect gift. It is proudly hanging in their home. It was a pleasure working with Richelle from start to finish."

Thanks

"A house is more than wood, brick and mortar – it’s a place of warmth for sleepy, 2 am feedings, glue for games of hide and seek, a safe haven from grammar school bullies, a shadow-filled, haunted Halloween mansion, and a love–filled, candle-lit, spirit of Christmas abode. So, when I searched the Internet for someone to render a portrait of our house, I looked for an artist who could capture it’s essence. As soon as I saw Richelle’s website, I knew I’d found an artist with soul. Thank you Richelle. Your portrait will be passed from generation to generation - and the spirit of our home will always be remembered."

"Words cannot express how impressed my wife and I are with the custom portrait we commissioned you to do of our home. It is absolutely gorgeous! You really out did yourself. Not only has your work exceeded our expectations, but the professionalism you exhibited in planning the work, keeping us posted on it's progress and delivering it in a timely fashion are outstanding. The portrait is amazing! You are amazing! We cannot thank you enough!"
